# std::is_bounded_array

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | types

Defined in header `<type_traits>` |  |
template< class T > struct is_bounded_array; |  | (since C++20)

`std::is_bounded_array` is a UnaryTypeTrait.

Checks whether `T` is an array type of known bound. Provides the member constant `value` which is equal to true, if `T` is an array type of known bound. Otherwise, `value` is equal to false.

If the program adds specializations for `std::is_bounded_array` or `std::is_bounded_array_v`, the behavior is undefined.

### Template parameters

T | - | a type to check

### Helper variable template

template< class T > constexpr bool is_bounded_array_v = is_bounded_array<T>::value; |  | (since C++20)

## Inherited from std::integral_constant

### Member constants

value [static] | true if `T` is an array type of known bound, false otherwise (public static member constant)

### Member functions

operator bool | converts the object to bool, returns value (public member function)
operator() (C++14) | returns value (public member function)

### Member types

Type | Definition
`value_type` | bool
`type` | std::integral_constant<bool, value>

### Possible implementation

    template<class T>
    struct is_bounded_array : std::false_type {};

    template<class T, std::size_t N>
    struct is_bounded_array<T[N]> : std::true_type {};

### Notes

Feature-test macro | Value | Std | Feature
--- | --- | --- | ---
`__cpp_lib_bounded_array_traits` | `201902L` | (C++20) | `std::is_bounded_array`, std::is_unbounded_array

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <type_traits>

    #define OUT(...) std::cout << #__VA_ARGS__ << " : " << __VA_ARGS__ << '\n'

    class A {};

    int main()
    {
        std::cout << std::boolalpha;
        OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<A>);
        OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<A[]>);
        OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<A[3]>);
        OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<float>);
        OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<int>);
        OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<int[]>);
        OUT(std::is_bounded_array_v<int[3]>);
    }

Output:

    std::is_bounded_array_v<A> : false
    std::is_bounded_array_v<A[]> : false
    std::is_bounded_array_v<A[3]> : true
    std::is_bounded_array_v<float> : false
    std::is_bounded_array_v<int> : false
    std::is_bounded_array_v<int[]> : false
    std::is_bounded_array_v<int[3]> : true
